Geoscape3d GIS Formats Plugin

 

At present, this plugin allows the user to import various raster file formats into Geoscape3d.

 

Specify a filename and the start position ( X, Y ) at which the data will be imported into the height map.  This is useful for joining together several imports together.

 

If the import is larger that the present height map, then Geoscape3d will resize the height map to fit the data.  If it cannot resize the height map, if you are using windowed mode, then the data will be clipped to the current size.

Functionality

 

  • Please note that the height scale may not be correct.  This may need to be altered after import to provide correct height scaling.

 

  • This importer is based on portions included from GDAL - Geospatial Data Abstraction Library (http://gdal.maptools.org )
